Minute Meditations

On the day of your canonization as the first saint born in  the United States, I happily anticipated the well-deserved attention your remarkable life would receive.

Wind, water, fire, and earth are creation’s basic elements that work together to sustain life.

St. Thérèse of Lisieux wrote that there is more power in one little act done with all the love one possesses than in the most impressive spiritual displays or works of service if they are not rooted in pure love ...

The saints draw us into the conversation of faith, life, and the ways in which we can love each other and, in doing so, love God.

Do that which brings you most mindfully into God’s presence. Do that which raises your mind and heart to God’s love.

With God’s help through the intercession of the saints, may our world be set free from war, violence, and terrorism.
